Over 400 Groups Urge Trump to Protect Medicaid

News summary

More than 400 organizations have urged President Trump to protect the Medicaid program, which serves 80 million Americans and is vital for hospitals, particularly in rural areas. As Trump plans to cut government spending, concerns are rising that Medicaid could be targeted for savings, despite assurances that Medicare and Social Security are safe. Meanwhile, GOP lawmakers are facing pressure regarding possible Medicaid cuts in order to finance tax cuts, with discussions around spending caps and reducing federal contributions to Medicaid expansion. The advocacy group Protect Our Care has launched a $10 million campaign to prevent Medicaid cuts, targeting vulnerable Republicans in states with large Medicaid populations. In Virginia, lawmakers are also working to safeguard Medicaid coverage amid fears of federal funding cuts, proposing measures to establish oversight and prevent loss of coverage. As these discussions unfold, healthcare leaders emphasize the critical importance of Medicaid for low-income Americans and healthcare systems.
